We use Artifactory proxy one for snapshots and one for releases (this was due to an early bug where it did not handle the differences correctly-this is reported to be fixed).
We used to use Proximity...had to switch because it did not support deployment (no web upload). Thoughts, if Proximity had good upload we likely would not have switched...but they didn't. Artifactory seems a little better overall but the web UI is SLOW. Thankfully we don't need UI access to the artifacts all that often...if we did it wouldn't be tolerable. The speed as a proxy is fine which is what matters the most to us. I too am not crazy about Artifactory's db storage but since they have import/export its okay. -Dave -----Original Message----- From: Bernd Stolle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 3:53 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Repos Managers : Archiva, artifactory, proximity, file:// Julien Graglia wrote: > I also have heard about proximity, but the live demo is down since .. > pfui... 2 months... not sure I want to use that.. Apparently they are restructuring the site. You can get an (older) SVN snapshot here: http://proximity.abstracthorizon.org/deploy/nightly/ SVN shows recent activity: http://trac.abstracthorizon.org/proximity/browser > So here is my question : what do you use? any of those 4 "repos > manager", another? > > Here is my needs : > use it as a maven repository > deploy artifacts (file or dav...) : snapshots and releases > clean olds snapshots I used Artifactory for a while and was not happy with the database storage and the configuration, so i decided to try Proximity instead: pro: quicker than Artifactory stores artifacts in the filesystem supports multiple repositories with multiple sources supposedly supports WebDAV (untested) nightly snapshot remover job cons: configuration is "experts only", you manually have to modify the spring configuration to add/remove repositories cached artifacts don't get indexed automatically for the search site, so you manually have to wait for the reindex job, or trigger it manually MfG, Bernd --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
